I am Lisa Seccia, and I am a postdoc in the Nonlinear Algebra group at the MPI MiS in Leipzig. I got my PhD from the University of Genoa in 2021 under the supervision of Matteo Varbaro.
I am interested in commutative algebra in a broad sense. My research delves into a range of topics, spanning determinantal ideals, Gröbner bases, Frobenius singularities in characteristic p, and combinatorial commutative algebra. Ideals defined by minors of a matrix are among my favorite objects to study since they arise naturally in many different contexts. For instance, here at the MPI MiS, I am learning how these ideals can often be used to describe and investigate statistical models.
Research at MPI MiS is as diverse and multifaceted as the people who pursue it. Our Math Planck People portrait series gives a face to our research and introduces the personalities that make up our institute - our scientists & staff. Meet our brilliant minds!
We’re thrilled to continue our series, showcasing the brilliant minds of our institute! Meet Irina Bobrova, a postdoc in Anna Wienhard’s group on Geometry, Groups, and Dynamics. In this portrait, she shares her passion for mathematics and her life in Leipzig.
The most recent addition to our Math Planck People is postdoc Lisa Seccia. Lisa is researching Combinatorial, Computational, and Pure Commutative Algebra in the Nonlinear Algebra Group.
Alessio Borzì is a recent postdoc in the Nonlinear Algebra group and the latest individual to reveal their academic journey and interests in our Math Planck People series.
Meet the latest addition to our Math Planck People roster: Renata Possobon. She is currently a PhD student in Jürgen Jost's Dynamical Systems Group and shares a closer glimpse into her academic pursuits in our portrait.
We are happy to introduce the next face of our Math Planck People series featuring the brilliant minds that make up our institute – our scientists. Sam G. Krupa is a postdoc in the group of László Székelyhidi. In this personal portrait, he gives an insight into his life and research.
Research at our Institute is as diverse and multifaceted as the people who pursue it. Our new portrait series puts a face to the research topics and introduces the personalities that make up our institute – our scientists. It is our pleasure to introduce the first face of Math Planck People: Leonie Kayser.
